Inside the Bizarre World of Japanese Pickup Schools

Seems similar in plot to that book outlining pickup artists (PUAs) in "The Game". In that book, PUAs were also teaching students in the LA area, and it got to a point where their students were mimicking all their best lines, thus rendering their teachers' routines ineffective. I figure the same story will play out here.

If women respond to making them laugh, then like comedians, being original has all its perks.

Whether or not you want to get involved in the "pick up" scene, "The Game" is a great book. It's an entertaining read, mostly for the characters involved, but Neil Strauss is a pretty funny writer as well. There were several points in the book that literally had me laughing out loud, and I must say there aren't too many things that do that for me. I'd highly recommend picking it up.
